BUMP
Well, I totally forgot to mention my new computer specs..so here they are.

9-in-1 card built in:

Back: 4 USB 2.0, 1 Firewire
15 Inch Flat Panel Display

Except for the DVD Burner/256 mb of RAM and the Wireless keyboard/mouse, the rest of the setup only cost me $199 at Staples the week before Christmas, but it took me almost a week to upgrade the RAM and add the DVD burner. Im going to get a new video card and Im going to upgrade the Hard Drive (somewhere in the 200 GB neighborhood) so I can take the DVD RW's that I burn on My ILO standalone DVD recorder and burn them to DVD-Rs with menu's and stuff (not all of them, just the ones that I want to keep).
Not too bad for what I paid for it.
